Numbers of the 23 Non-native Tree Species Reported and the Insect and Fungus Threats to Them

Country	Trees	Fungi	Insects
Great Britain	18	290	120
Hungary	1	18	13
Switzerland	11	43	78

Elisabeth Pötzelsberger and colleagues gathered data on 23 non-native tree species grown in Europe. They analyzed reports from Great Britain, Switzerland, and Hungary about the number of these species grown in those countries as well as the numbers of insect and fungus species that damage those trees. The researchers concluded that Great Britain had a greater number of damaging fungus species than either of the other countries did.

Which choice best describes data from the table that support Pötzelsberger and colleagues’ conclusion?

Hungary reported 18 damaging fungus species but only 13 damaging insect species.

Great Britain reported 290 damaging fungus species, whereas Switzerland reported 78 damaging insect species.

Great Britain reported 290 damaging fungus species, which is more than either Switzerland or Hungary reported.

Switzerland and Hungary reported 11 and 1 damaging fungus species, respectively, which is far fewer than Great Britain reported.
